One of God's Better People - Robbie Williams

You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special
And I cry so I can talk like this
From my downbeat existence
And I know that you can make my wish
If my wish is pure

But I don't know
I just don't know
I don't know
Let me love you so
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you

You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special
It must hurt to see your favourite man
Lose himself again and again
And I know that you're my only friend
>From way back when

My wish was pure
It was oh so pure
It was pure
I couldn't love you more
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you

'cos I don't know no more
I just don't know no more
I jsut don't know
Let me love you so
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you
Now I can't live this without you
I'd die without you
Without you, without you

You're one of God's better people
And you don't know
That's why you're special

Make You Feel My Love - Adele

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

新鴛鴦蝴蝶夢

我從某本「心靈雞湯」看到一個愛屋及烏的故事。

故事開端發生在越戰時期，一個美國軍人告訴妻子，他愛上了一個越南女子，要求離婚，妻子傷心欲絕，還是答允。後來，軍人死了，死前拜托前妻照顧來美國定居的越南妻子和兒子，因爲他們沒有其他親人，前妻往接機，幫前夫的妻兒安頓，越南女子很是感動，問她為甚麽，她說她還是很愛「她們」的丈夫，由於愛他，所以她選擇愛他所愛的人：現在的妻子和兒子，因爲他們三個就是男人只有的親人。

人世間真有那樣的愛屋及烏？看過以後，心想自己可會有那位前妻的氣度。

當我發現我的咖啡就是我想要的一杯茶的時候，我想著咖啡和紅茶的分別：在我的咖啡還未端到我跟前時，上天已經幫它加上咖啡伴侶，好讓它變得更滑更香，我沒有聼過紅茶有伴侶。

我在某個晚宴上，聽到嘉賓高歌一曲「新鴛鴦蝴蝶夢」，當時聽到「由來只有新人笑，有誰聽到舊人哭，愛情兩個字，好辛苦，是要問一個明白，還是要裝作糊塗，知多知少不知足……」字字珠璣，好不諷刺！但凡女人都愛哭，那有新舊之分？該問甚麽？裝作不知道甚麽？甚麽算多？甚麽算少？良心是否一定對？是否做對的事就一定不會傷害他人？到底怎樣才算不知足？

因爲我經常諸多要求，寬容不夠，所以上天就跟我玩角色扮演的遊戲，要我扮演應該是跟良心對立的角色來顛覆我的良心價值觀和一切，唯有易地而處，我才會學懂對人和事多一點寬容。

現在來到我希望別人對我寬容的時候，既然不再是鴛鴦蝴蝶哭哭啼啼的年代，顛覆了良心價值觀和一切又如何？既然我不能是咖啡伴侶，就讓我變成一只咖啡杯，盛載融為一體的咖啡和伴侶，能愛，就以全部的生命去愛，包括愛屋及烏，這樣算不算不知足？

上天還真會開玩笑，現在想來饒有幽默感，「鴛鴦」不就是咖啡加紅茶的混合體嗎？

海子的詩

面朝大海，春暖花開

從明天起, 做一個幸福的人
喂馬, 劈柴, 周遊世界
從明天起, 關心糧食和蔬菜
我有一所房子, 面朝大海, 春暖花開
從明天起, 和每一個親人通信
告訴他們我的幸福
那幸福的閃電告訴我的
我將告訴每一個人
給每一條河每一座山取一個溫暖的名字
陌生人, 我也為你祝福
願你有一個燦爛的前程
願你有情人終成眷屬
願你在塵世獲的幸福
我也願面朝大海, 春暖花開

海子小夜曲

以前的夜裏我們靜靜地坐著
我們雙膝如木
我們支起了耳朵
我們聽得見平原上的水和詩歌
這是我們自己的平原，夜晚和詩歌

如今只剩下我一個
只有我一個雙膝如木
只有我一個聽得見平原上的水
詩歌中的水
在這個下雨的夜晚
如今只剩下我一個
為你寫著詩歌
這是我們共同的平原和水
這是我們共同的夜晚和詩歌

是誰這么說過海水
要走了要到處看看
我們曾在這兒坐過

給你

3．
愛你的時刻
住在舊糧倉裏
寫詩在黃昏

我曾和你在一起
在黃昏中坐過
在黃色麥片的黃錯
在春天的黃昏
我該對你說些什么

黃昏是我的家鄉
你是家鄉靜靜生長的姑娘
你是在靜靜的情義中生長
沒有一點聲響
你一直走到我心上

面朝大海只是願望，所以選了湖的照片。據説海子走了行久，我對他一無所知，但只要是好詩，任何人看到，都會感覺到。

我知道 - 汪國真

歡樂是人生的驛站
痛苦是生命的航程
我知道
當你心緒沉重的時候
最好的禮物
是送你一片寧靜的天空

你會迷惘
也會清醒
當夜幕低落的時候
你會感受到
有一雙溫暖的眼睛

我知道
當你拭干面頰上的淚水
你會燦然一笑
那時，我會輕輕對你說
走吧　你看
槐花正香　月色正明

Till There was You - The Beatles

There were bells on a hill
But i never heard them ringing
No i never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But i never saw them winging
No i never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But i never heard it singing
No i never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But i never heard it singing
No i never heard it at all
Till there was you

Till there was you :)

To E. - Sara Teasdale

I have remembered beauty in the night,
Against black silences I waked to see
A shower of sunlight over Italy
And green Ravello dreaming on her height;
I have remembered music in the dark,
The clean swift brightness of a fugue of Bach's,
And running water singing on the rocks
When once in English woods I heard a lark.

But all remembered beauty is no more
Than a vague prelude to the thought of you--
You are the rarest soul I ever knew,
Lover of beauty, knightliest and best,
My thoughts seek you as waves that seek the shore,
And when I think of you I am at rest.
